Defining And Retrieving User Attributes - HP MSM7xx Management And Configuration Manual

Working with RADIUS attributes
User attributes
Multiple instances of the Colubris AV-Pair attribute can be defined for each user, each with a
different AV-Pair value. For a complete list of all supported AV-Pair values, see
Pair - User attribute values on page
In order for a third-party RADIUS server to support the Colubris AV-Pair attribute you need to
define it as described under
Note
The Colubris AV-Pair attribute can be used to define settings on the controller and for users
and administrators. This section discuses user settings only.
Important
The documentation for this product frequently uses the terms site attributes and user
attributes to refer to the Colubris AV-Pair attribute values depending on whether the AV-Pair
attribute values are set with a value that applies to the public access site or to an individual
user.

Defining and retrieving user attributes

User attributes can be retrieved from a third-party RADIUS server or specified directly on the
controller in user account profiles.
Defining attributes locally in user accounts
If you are using the local user accounts to authenticate users, then you can define account
attributes locally via account profiles.
Each user account can be associated with one or more account profiles. The attributes that
are set in each profile are combined in the account to produce the full list of active attributes.
If you are working with access-controlled user accounts, additional attributes can also be
defined via the Default AC profile.
The best way to understand how all this works is to look at an example.
